We have a Watchdog PWD50-EPO. Like the other reviewers have stated, the FREE app doesn’t work right. The developers haven’t addressed the common issues within the app for 2years, regardless of the continuous complaints. So I did some research and realized they don’t have to fix the app because NOW the company makes an RV WHISPER MONITOR STATION that will do everything the free app is supposed to. But that’s going to cost us ANOTHER $269- $219 bucks!!!!! Cross selling at its finest!
However, our watchdog product is amazing and has worked excellent. I highly recommend purchasing one to every RV owner I know. It’s just too bad that they make you have to purchase another product so that we can get the information feedback from the product.

Doesn’t log. Should be able to show high/lows recorded over time.
Wake up and check what happened at night or while you were gone.
Would gladly leave behind an iPad or old phone to act as brains

Should allow you to do a setup.

Start with base config (everything possible off)
The label what you’re turning on and have it record the draw of all your equipment

Get alerts if you are too close to you cap to say run the microwave.

Device could easily discern afterwards based on your draw what is on (big stuff, heat, microwave, a/c)

Should ask what caused a shutdown or drew too much current so you can see a history of your devices.

Would be nice to once a quarter turn in the big devices and have it tell you if you a/c is suddenly drawing more amperage than usual.

So many ideas

So little functionality

The app offers very basic information about the status of the surge protector. We’ve been testing it on our first trip with our new RV and it has cut the power twice on us for going over current. I don’t know how accurate the meter is on the EPO itself, but that is a separate review :) the app made it very easy to check why the power cut off and to turn it back on right from my phone. Never needed to go outside of the RV!

Knocking some stars because when I had notifications turned on it was incredibly noisy, pinging my phone every few minutes that it disconnected. I don’t know what that alert meant: that my phone disconnected from the EPO, or that the EPO power had disconnected? Either way, power never appeared to be disrupted in the RV so I assumed it was an app issue. The app has no option to configure notifications (no options to configure anything, really), so my only choice was to disable all notifications completely from iOS. This meant I had no notifications when the power cut off and had to figure out what happened on my own. Would be nice to configure some settings like what notifications I want to see and adjust some thresholds for power off.
